Cottage, private pool, beautiful mountain views, WIFI, walk to restaurant
Chiara is a spacious detached 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom property with large wraparound garden, private pool and mountain views. WIFI.
Being built out of traditional stone and boasting beamed ceilings, tuscan flooring, chestnut windows with internal wooden shutters, and a classic tuscan kitchen, there is a real feel of Tuscan Charm at this peaceful property which is set on the top of a hill, with commanding views of the stunning countryside. Despite the traditional ambience there is a well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms and even insect screens.
The owner has renovated this beautiful property with lots of love and care, and is happy to share it with guests as due to work commitments she now uses it herself less often.
As well as the main house there is a little barn with a second living room, perfect for relaxing away from the rest of your group if you need your own space...
The property is set over two floors and is arranged as follows:
Enter via traditional door into the hallway with original stone staircase. Right into spacious living room with beamed ceilings, cotto flooring, large original fireplace and comfy seating along with a dining table that extends to seat 8 guests. TV is Italian only but there is a DVD player if you wish to bring films. The light room also has a door leading to garden. From here one reaches the traditional Tuscan country kitchen/diner complete with large oven, 5 ring hob, dishwasher, double sink, microwave, and breakfasting table - all you need to try your hand at Italian cooking. Also on this floor is a twin bedroom and a modern shower room with shower cubicle, basin, WC and bidet. There is also a utility area with washing machine.
Upstairs there is : Twin room - suitable for children due to style of decor Double room, with double aspect views over countryside and mountains Double room, with double aspect views over countryside and mountains Family bathroom, with hydromassage bath, separate shower cubicle , large basin, WC and bidet.
Outside: Large wrap around garden with traditionally paved patio area for al fresco dining. Wooded area with trees for relaxing in the natural shade Small converted barn with further living area for a peaceful relaxation Private pool with views over mountains Plenty of flat grounds for children to play (unusual with a mountain property!).
All this unspoilt countryside, stunning views and real feel of olde worlde Italy, yet one can still walk cross country to a restaurant (open high season Thurs to Sun) and there are further places to eat via a short car journey. The village of Piazza al Serchio, just a 5 minute drive away has a supermarket as well as traditional shops too.
Enjoy a holiday with a difference....
The villa is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Peace and Quiet in the mountains of Tuscany
Everything was just as advertised. Chiara was a wonderful host who met us after our long journey. The pool was great, al fresco dinners and the quietness of the mountains. View was spectacular and there is a path down to the creek. Piazza al Serchio is close by for any grocery needs and market on Tuesdays.

Geschmackvolles Haus
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in Chiaras Haus. Das Haus ist groß und dank der dicken Mauern auch im Sommer angenehm kühl. Haus und Garten sind sehr gepflegt und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Kontakt mit der Gastgeberin war angenehm und auf Fragen wurde schnell reagiert.

Toller Urlaub in der Toscana
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in unserem Haus mit Pool in der Toskana. Das Haus bietet alles was man braucht und liegt oberhalb des Ortes. Von dort konnte man direkt Wanderungen machen oder den Tag am Pool genießen. Chiara war immer erreichbar und super nett. Wir können das Objekt auf alle Fälle empfehlen!!

Toskana mal anders
Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt bei Chiara. Vielen Dank dafür. Das Inserat entspricht zu 150% der Leistungen vor Ort.
Beim Thema zur Lage des Objektes sollte man sich gut einlesen. Das Haus ist eingebettet in Berge. Für uns kein Problem, sondern schön. Dennoch können 30km Autofahrt etwas länger dauern.
Wenn wir wieder einmal in dieser Ecke sind - gerne und sofort wieder! Vielen Dank für diese Zeit!

Viel Ruhe am Wald
Wir verbrachten 10 schöne Tage in Chiaras Haus in Nicciano. Die 4 Kinder genossen trotz kühler Witterung den Pool und auch wir 4 Erwachsenen konnten uns gut entspannen.
Das Haus bietet viele Möglichkeiten zu verweilen. Tags am Pool oder der Terrasse, abends im Gartenhaus. In der Küche bietet der große Esstisch genügend Platz für 8 Personen.
Das Haus liegt am Waldrand und so bekommt man ab und an Besuch von Waldbewohnern.
Mit dem Hund finden sich schöne Spazierwege rund um den Ort.
Im Ort gibt es die Möglichkeit Pizza zu holen oder auch einzukehren.
Einmal in der Woche gibt es einen Markt im Ort. Dort lässt es sich prima einkaufen.
Zusätzlich erreicht man in wenigen Autominuten auch 2 Supermärkte.
Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass wir mit 2 Familien einen sehr schönen Urlaub erlebt haben und wir das Haus nur weiterempfehlen können!

Wunderbarer Urlaub!
Das Haus ist ein absoluter Traum! Wir waren zu 8. und haben uns von Anfang an pudelwohl gefühlt.
Dadurch, dass es am Ende einer Sackgasse liegt, genießt man absolute Privatsphäre mit einem fantastischen Blick auf die umliegenden Berge. Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen und dem Alltag entfliehen. Das Haus ist super sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht.
Unser persönliches Highlight war der saubere und regelmäßig gepflegte Pool, der Barbecue Grill und das separate Wohnzimmer in dem wir den Großteil unserer Abende verbracht haben.
Innerhalb einer Stunde ist man In Lucca, einer der schönsten Städte der Toskana und in eineinhalb Stunden in La Spezia und Lerici am Meer - auf jeden Fall einen Ausflug wert!
Alles in einem sind wir rundum glücklich gewesen, haben einen wundervollen Urlaub in Chiaras Haus verbracht und kommen gerne wieder!

Vacanze di gruppo relax
Posto veramente bello, immerso nel verde della garfagnana, un po’ lontano dal centro e quindi dalla movida.
Di conseguenza resta il posto ideale per chi vuole fare vacanze relax e staccare da tutto.
La casa è molto bella e molto grande.
Pulitissima e fornita di ogni comfort e necessità.
Spostandosi con la macchina è possibile fare numerose escursioni come il parco dell’orecchiella o L’Adventure park..
Il supermercato più vicino è la crai e a mezz’oretta si raggiunge il centro di Castelnuovo per poter mangiare un gelato e fare shopping.
Un ringraziamento speciale alla proprietaria di casa Chiara sempre gentilissima e disponibile.

Zeer ruim, gezellig huis, prachtige omgeving, fenomenaal uitzicht.
Het huis ligt op een heuvel waar je je alleen waant. Fenomenaal uitzicht overal waar je kijkt. Prachtig op een heuvel tussen de Toscaanse bergen, zover je kunt kijken! Het huis is groot, met hele ruime slaapkamers en prachtige badkamers. Alles is met evenveel zorg ingericht met oog voor gezelligheid en detail. Ook de keuken is fantastisch uitgerust met alles wat een (groot) gezin nodig heeft. Het zwembad is iets aan de kleine kant, maar daar zitten met het prachtige uitzicht is heel bijzonder! Genoeg ligbedjes en stoelen. Een ruime tuin.
De herten lopen op een afstandje door het groen.
Vanaf het huis wandel je zo de bossen in met iets verderop een klein riviertje.
Het huis ligt wel tikje afgelegen, waarmee ik bedoel, je hebt de auto nodig om een broodje of pizza te halen.
In de buurt ligt een prachtig meer op 8 min met de auto waar je heerlijk een dag kunt zijn, kunt vissen etc.
Lucca ligt niet ver en is het bezøeken meer dan waard!
Daarnaast is deze omgeving in Noord Toscane nog minder toeristisch en daardoor niet duur.
Wij hebben een super week gehad. Chiara is een lieve eigenaresse die zorgt dat je een fijne tijd in haar huis hebt! We denken er zeker nog eens terug te komen!
